    I have the 2011 dv6tqe and recently i'v been waking up to my laptop with the battery dead. I tend to charge it during the day and unplug it before I sleep so it usually have more than %50 before I head off to bed.

    I either put it in sleep or hibernate, but as of lately something seems wrong because when I wake up the battery is completely dead and I have to plug it in to turn it on.

    Any clues as to what might be going on?

    Are you sure you're not accidentally waking it with a wireless mouse or something?
